[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Northfield is actually very sunny in the winter. It’s also very cold, and the days in December are short, but the sky is clear and blue and the sun reflects off the snow so it’s extremely bright. All the schools west of the lakes are much sunnier than the snow-effect schools (Michigan, Cornell) where it seems like it’s always cloudy and grey. [/quote]

Agreed. Went to the other school in Northfield and friends from places like Chicago said that it was so much brighter and less depressing than winter there. Minnesotans also get outside to enjoy the winter—cross country skiing, ice skating, etc.[/quote]

Well Chicago sucks so maybe your friend was just commenting on how Chicago is a more depressing place overall than northfield but the winter weather is typically actually quite a bit worse in Minnesota than Chicago. Average temps in December, January and February in northfield are highs of 26, 21, 28 whereas avg temps in those same months in Chicago are highs of 37, 31, and 35. Considerable difference. Northfield also gets more snow than Chicago with average annual snowfall in northfield at 42 inches and Chicago at 37 inches [/quote]

Yes, of course Minnesota is cold and snowy (most years)! I came from a much warmer  place and didn't find it depressing at all.[/quote]
